Yes. :)

Both are valid items for the LOPSA regional event list.

That's why I want them categorized. Then it's just a matter of polling by
category.

Don't worry, we're certain you can figure it out ;-).

Something like that is probably the easiest for most of us. It would
require some way of doing categorization.

Maybe the address could do categorization, e.g. send it to
regional_events+BostonMAUS-BBLISA-local-$speaker-$topic-$date at LOPSA.org.

In the case I was thinking $speaker would be the person submitting it, but
we might be able to also just grab -announce stuff.

We're smart, I'm sure we can come up with something you only have to think
about once or twice.

I agree that we want to reduce the amount of work people do to make
presentations not increase it.
